You Bet I Love Music!

I have this list of bands and artists that I would pay ridiculous amounts of money to see if they came even close to where I am. Some of them are not with in reach anymore for one reason or another (dead band members, broken up and there is like ONE original member, etc.), but if I could, I would! Here is that list:

- The Beatles
- Prince
- Led Zeppelin
- Madonna (maybe not now...)
- The Cardigans
- Stevie Ray Vaughn
- Morphine
- Coldplay
- Cream
- The Foo Fighters
- Jeff Buckley
- Genesis
- Pantera

I know there are more, but that is a good list for now...

I also decided that I would sit and think of all of the bands that I have seen live in my lifetime. 2007 was a HUGE music year for me - in fact, I think I went to a show almost every month! This really is not a very exciting blog - I will admit that first hand - but I just wanted to see if I could list them :) Enjoy... and no comments... well, comment if there is a band I have seen that is not on the list! haha!
